Genesis 32:5

Context
32:5 I have oxen, donkeys, sheep, and male and female servants. I have sent 1  this message 2  to inform my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”

1 tn Or “I am sending.” The form is a preterite with the vav consecutive; it could be rendered as an English present tense – as the Hebrew perfect/preterite allows – much like an epistolary aorist in Greek. The form assumes the temporal perspective of the one who reads the message.

2 tn The words “this message” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
